The all-new essays in this book respond to the question, How do
spaces in science fiction, both built and unbuilt, help shape the
relationships among humans, other animals and their shared
environments? Spaces, as well as a sense of place or belonging,
play major roles in many science fiction works. This book focuses
especially on science fiction that includes depictions of the
future that include, but move beyond, dystopias and offer us ways
to imagine reinventing ourselves and our perspectives; especially
our links to and views of new environments. There are ecocritical
texts that deal with space/place and science fiction criticism that
deals with dystopias but there is no other collection that focuses
on the intersection of the two. The essays in this volume treat
Shelley's Frankenstein, Capek's War with the Newts, William
Morris's News from Nowhere, Le Guin's The Word for World Is Forest,
Delany's Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand, Philip K. Dick's
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Marge Piercy's He, She, It,
Neal Stephenson's Anathem, Amitav Ghosh's Calcutta Chromosome and
Cormac McCarthy's The Road.
